Les Miserables/landing on my ass

The only musical I ever liked was "Paint Your Wagon". Mainly because its the only movie you will ever see Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing. Here's the national anthem for people who hate people:

I watched 10 minutes of Mamma Mia the movie last nigh. It sucked! Love Abba, hate the movie.

WTF was Pierce Brosnan thinking when he accepted a role in that piece of crap?

THANK YOU!!! I wrote on facebook that it sucked and got like 60 comments on how everybody else loved it. WTF? It's the worst crap ever. Where did it go wrong, Pierce??

Being a heterosexual man I have no interest in musicals...

Ok, given I watched a lot of musicals as a kid (Gene Kelly/Fred Astaire, "West Side Story" and "Cabaret" a few times), I have to ask...

Does "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" count as a musical?

Funny, I don't even think of that stuff as "musicals" even though they are... me personally I don't think I could deal with a musical made past ...1970? Everything just seems really schmaltzy and lame now, can't imagine sitting through one.

Well, there was that one from 1979 with Roy Scheider in it... Or "Pennies From Heaven" with Steve Martin & Christopher Walken...

OK, 1980-ish?

And yeah, my rap's starting to sound somewhat suspect, but that's the price of being born into a family of weekend-dancers. (Both parents and sisters, contests on the weekends.)

'81, I guess...

I dunno...the original film version of Fame was actually pretty good, and as Coyote mentioned, West Side Story kicked some serious ass.

Then again, that ghastly Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (starring the Bee gees and Peter Frampton) gave my ears, retinas, central nervous system and brain some devastating damage, most of which I've never recovered from.

But was Fame a musical or a dance film with music? She wasn't singing at any point, y'know?

I bet the same can be said about "Flashdance"...

To be honest, I couldn't tell ya, as I haven't seen the damned movie in some 32 years, at least. I wasted far too many brain cells in that time to even recall my own address, phone number or even name correctly these days. Hell, I have to look up the number just to call work at this point.

I meant "Flashdance" ....damned cold medicine!
